Care + guidance

Is this you?

Tired of guessing what your hair needs?

You may have a cabinet full of products, years of saved tutorials, or a curly cut behind you and still have no clear plan. I slow down, look at the hair in front of me, and explain what I’m doing as we go.

  • Care based on your scalp, condition, density, history, lifestyle, and goals.
  • A personalized Curlscription, sent after your visit, you can actually follow at home.
  • An unhurried appointment where your questions are welcome.

What the appointment looks like

The pieces stay. The order can change.

This is not a set routine. I work from the hair in front of me and explain each decision as we go.

We talk first

I look at your hair and scalp, listen to what has and hasn't worked, and ask what you need from your routine.

Cleanse + treat

I choose the cleanse and treatment after I see what is going on, including buildup, hard water, dryness, or weakness.

The cut

Every cut is done dry. Where it happens in the appointment depends on your condition, density, movement, and goals.

Style + teach

You see the products, amounts, tools, and techniques I use, and following your appointment, you'll receive a personalized Curlscription tailored to your curls.

Private hair education

Learn Your Own Hairfrom start to finish

You or someone who helps with your hair will practice the full routine on your actual hair while I guide every decision, from cleansing through drying and refreshing.

What you leave knowing

What to use, how much, how wet your hair should be, which tools help, and what to change when your hair is asking for something different.

About me

Hi, I’m Selina

I’m a curl specialist focused on hair and scalp care, dry cutting, and teaching you what to do when I’m not standing next to you. My journey in curly hair began in 2017, working in a curl-focused salon long before I became a licensed cosmetologist. Those years taught me that the best result is one you can maintain at home.
